Domi, have you no mobile? Use that to tell time - unless you can do it by the position of the sun - rarely in the UK.

Ok - so you are no where NEAR ready to date. Sure you want the connection that comes with the closeness - the love, the cuddling, the romance. But you can't do that yet. You might not do that for a long time.So - you are going to enjoy this sweet crush and this great guy. You are going to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You are going to stop being sad that you can't have more with someone right now. You are just going to relax - and be happy with the wonderful folks in your life right now. That is what you are going to do!

~You are a *Taverner*.Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication, you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~-Royko

You can DO this. Really. You have to. It is the right and fair thing to do. It's like a bandaid. Just RIIIIP and get it over with. And then it will be done. I realize you hate upsetting folks and you don't want to hurt feelings. But - you have no attraction to this person and you need to just get this over with once and for all. It will be the better for it. Especially if you want to stay friends. Just say it. You are not interested.

DO IT.
